kindergarten bento 68

PB and J on sandwich thin, grapes and blueberries, carrot, cauliflower and cherry tomato with ranch.


Valentine’s week bento =)

kindergarten bento 67

PB and Jelly hearts, babybell (with a heart cutout you can’t see), cauliflower, carrot (hiding under since it didn’t match my pink, red and white theme ;)), strawberries, and a mini cupcake.


 

kindergarten bento 66

Homemade pizza cut into star shapes, grapes and blueberries, carrot, broccoli and cauloflower.


Hot lunch tomorrow.

kindergarten bento 65

Ham flowers, babybell cheese and crackers, quail egg, grapes and blueberries, carrots.


A quickie this morning, as I am under the weather.  The whole family has been sick like the wave at a football game starting early last week.  I was the last to really get hit.  Whee.

kindergarten bento 64

PB and lemon curd on whole wheat, mandarin oranges and rapberries, cottage cheese with lemon pepper and cheese hearts.


So I used  a “Lunch Punch” for the sandwich, and its supposed to be a baby elephant under a mommy elephant, but the little lines to show the trunk and ears don’t really show.

kindergarten bento 63

PB and honey, ham flower (really I had it cut to think to really make a pretty flower, it kept breaking.  I’ll get a thinner cut next time!), checkered apple, banana and strawberry skewer, radish, broccoli, sweet potato flowers and a couple little panda cookies.


Wanted a quick and easy cute, so I used my favorite – the giraffe.  It takes under a minute to whip that out 😉

kindergarten bento 62

Ham and cheese on whole grain white, yogurt with strawberry flowers, carrot and celery, cheese giraffe.  Giraffe is a cheddar base with flower spots cut from a colby-jack.  The eye is one of those little candy sprinkle things meant for cake decorating.


 

kindergarten bento 61

Ham and cheese rolls, fresh mozzarella balls, quail egg chick, broccoli, radish, carrot, ranch dressing, checkered apple and golden raspberries.  A couple little mushroom cookie snacks for a treat.

I think I tried to include too many different little things today.  It just looks messy to me.


 I know, I know, I am missing bento posts.  I kept making them, but didn’t get them uploaded.  I don’t know if I will have a chance to play catch up.  I’ll be happy if I can get myself organized again and post daily!

kindergarten bento 60

Ham and cheese sandwiches on whole grain breads, yellow and red raspberries, broccoli and carrot, babybel cheese. Birds are cut from cheese with raisin eyes and carrot beak.

I’m on a bento break until school resumes after the first of the year.  Kidlet wants to do hot lunch this week (although “hot” lunch days have consisted of PB and J one day and yogurt another, heh), and then its winter break.
